Elvis Costello - The First to Leave слова песни
I should open with a kissFor if youre reading thisYou must have opened up your caseAnd found this letter where I placed itIn between the silk and laceThere were other clues, like your walking shoesBut I still refused to believeThat you were meant to be the first to leaveEverybody here sends you their loveHow can I forget you still walk aboveOrBelowPerhaps youll never know this purgatoryWe never could agreeTheres a thought, theres a pauseNo time to repentEternally yoursIn a permanent lentBut if I should give you upIf youre right and life just stopsAnd I never see your face againThen from unearthly pleasures, proud and plainI shall abstainUntil you realise, my loss is your surpriseUnless you know otherwiseThen dont grieveYou see I had to be the first to leave
